The vid is very well done. I enjoyed watching it. I even enjoyed the naivety shown on both sides ...  It should be allowed to dream.

Now let's see what the TV cynics will make out of this thread ... *getting the popcorn and sitting back*

Thank you for sharing this, Eek!

Charoen Krung Soi 22 (vid from yesterday, but my friend tells me its still like that today ...)

This amazing vid shows how people are helping each other, Thai and also some foreigners  ...

A Tokyo Electrical Power Company worker talks about the lack of  controls on his company's nuclear power plants, its corporate culture of  silence and TEPCO's reaction to the catastrophe.

on Spiegel online in ENGLISH:

Spiegel International


"A Tokyo Electrical Power Company (TEPCO) worker has spoken out over  the firm's power plant control failures and culture of silence. This  text is based on a phone interview conducted in Japanese. Because he  distrusts the Japanese media, the TEPCO employee had spoken to a  blogger, who then passed the story on to SPIEGEL. The magazine knows  which department the employee works in and has verified his identity."

"If my colleagues knew I was speaking with the press, they would despise  me for it. My boss would certainly dismiss me. Therefore, I must remain  anonymous.

  

     I have worked for TEPCO for a long time, and always considered it to be a  good company. But now when I go to work, I see everywhere -- on trains,  on the streets -- the headlines on the illuminated adverts for  magazines: "TEPCO is bad, bad, bad." That rankles because I know how  much criticism it really deserves. It is time to speak out. In my  opinion, TEPCO bears responsibility for the accident in Fukushima, but  the state is just as guilty."

[...]


"Employees from across the company are now being sent to Fukushima,  even if they do not belong to the nuclear division. They are assistants  who are trying to reconnect power to the plant. Many are working in  radioactive environments for the first time, with protective clothing  and a breathing mask. Often there's something mentioned about them on  the intranet.

  Until recently, I didn't know anyone personally who had to go there,  it was always acquaintances of friends. But this week, a friend of mine  was sent there. He told me that he had not volunteered, that it was an  order. He has no idea what he'll be doing there."

End of quote




They seem to be using workers from other than the nuclear divisions of Tepco Industries now in cleaning up the mess. Imagine this would happen in a country where is is not so easy to just 'order' people to risk and lose (?) their lives for the company ...
